A member asked:
Will "5-htp" and "l-tyrosine" help and improve my medication "vyvanse"? thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Interesting question: There is no evidence that it would hurt. J Psychiatry Neurosci suggests: L-Tyrosine does not seem to enhance the release of catecholamines when neurons are firing at their basal rates, but it does when firing rates are increased by stress. The main effects of L-tyrosine that have been reported are acute effects in preventing a decline in cognitive function in response to physical stress.
